Lijsbeth Jans

F, #6281, b. before 2 September 1663
Mother-Candidate*Regina van Rapenberg van Guinea b. c 1650; candidate relationship, offered with a view toward further discovery in the record.1
Father-DisprovedJan Luy van Ceylon b. c 1650; It seems clear to me that Jan Luij van Ceylon could not have been the father of Lijsbeth Jans. His daughter was baptised Maria, the records suggest the relationship between Jan and Dina van Cochin began around 1680, and Lijsbeth Jans and Johann Andresen were married in 1684 and had a child by 1685.2,3

Laasgenoemde was getroud met 'n Lijsbeth Jansz van die Kaap wie se ouers nie anders bekend is nie. Lijsbeth het na die dood van Jan Andriesze in 1698 weer met Hendrik Loos in die huwelik getree. Alhoewel Lijsbeth Jansz en Jan Andriesze reeds in Julie 1685 'n seun gedoop het asook 'n dogter in Mei 1692, is dit tog nie onmoontlik dat Jan van Ceylon haar nog as sy dogter kon opgegee het nie."
